Good, I’m glad someone is finally standing up to these war mongering fascists.
Very obviously the right approach and its insane that anyone (such as Farage) would say otherwise.
Starmer isn’t perfect but I really think we shouldn’t underestimate the importance of having a leader who at least exists in the real world, because apparently that can’t be taken for granted.
Sound decision the US clearly have no viable off ramp and are now simply hoping Iran surrenders rather than fight on. If they continue to fight Trump either walks away and looks more of an idiot than before (if that’s possible) throws all his friends in the middle east under the bus and destabilizes the world economy for years.
If he commits ground troops to force regime change it will be a meat grinder the US will never forgive him for, the losses will be massive and they will be stuck in Iran for decades slowly bleeding out.
So my take away from the last couple days is that once again the US rushed into the Middle East with no exit strategy, but this time the UK Government said “no thanks”.
How anyone can disagree with this approach I will never understand.
Starmer had a great fucking quote after Trump attacked him:
>”President Trump has expressed his disagreement with our decision not to get involved in the initial strikes, but it is my duty to judge what is in Britain’s national interest. That is what I have done, and I stand by it”
Amazing just how low the bar is these days but at least Starmer is over it.
Translation from Starmerese: “Please daddy Trump give me some pretext I can work with”
If he hadn’t flip flopped with the base decision in the same day before Cyprus was even targeted I’d have more confidence in what he’s saying but his flip flopping plus centrist/blue Labour proclivity to getting involved in the Middle East doesn’t exactly make me feel secure we’ll stay out of it.
The only thing Starmer is decent at is foreign policy. Which is timely but domestically he’s a 0.
Say what you like about Starmer, but thank god we’ve got a boring, sensible statesman like him right now.
You can’t convince me that Farage wouldn’t just be taking his orders from Trump like a good boy. The reform lot seem to confuse the national interest with whatever keeps the Americans happy. It’s about time we operated on a policy of *Britain* first.
The last thing we need is to be joining another shortsighted, legally dubious forever war in the Middle East.
This is the difference having an adult at the helm makes.
He’s getting shit for this from the same crowd who shat on Tony Blair for Iraq. It’s kind of sad and funny.
Reformers are posting vids of him dressed up as Iran’s supreme leader, the argument seems to be he’s protecting muslims unfairly. But I swear to god, these guys rant on endlessly about “forever wars” and “warmongering left”.
Anyone who disagrees here is insane. Why would we risk the lives of our armed forces for a war in-which has absolutely no benefit to our nation.
In fact, if we get involved, it will likely see a rise in terrorist action from those in our nation.
I bet those keen to jump in aren’t willing to put their boots on and go fight themselves are they?
He’s right.
Not a fan of his by any means, but, on this, he’s completely correct. Our troops don’t need to be dying for a war that isn’t legal and that the US won’t even define.
Thank god the adults are in charge, if it were the Tories or Reform we’d be forced in.
do you reckon USA will rename The Full English to “Freedom breakfast”?
there’s nothing stopping bad-enoch and farage enlisting if they’re so keen.
Hold the line, Kier. He is imperfect but what we can say is he is a stickler for rules.
No to Epstein-Bibi war please and thank you.
Good because Starmer needs to focus on domestic issues of the UK then participate in wars etc
Supporting international law and failing in proscribing the IRGC as a terror group are mutually exclusive positions.
They didn’t care about international law, viable plans, or the safety of the British public when Iran started gunning civilians down by the 1000s. Nor when they murdered teenage girls for showing their hair in public, or when Iran backed double digits of terror attacks inside the UK, or when they sent sleeper cells to our country.
But now his violent theocratic dictator friends need help, it’s front and centre.
Meanwhile Badenoch is pushing for the UK to get involved. Insane.
Correct call. No lawful basis, no clear objective, no exit strategy the UK has no business joining this conflict.
